The lungs.

Since the food accidentally entered the tracea(wind pipe) instead of the esophagus due to the sudden malfuction of the epiglottis, you will start coughing a lot because of your lungs trying to get the food out of the way. And since the person who swallowed the food is a baby, there's a possibility for the child to choke.
